[This entry might seem a little uncharacteristically chipper coming from Murdoc of all people. Why? Because it's all pretty much fake. He's engaged to Sybille simply to prevent her from being deported and this entry has been made in the interest of seeming genuine.]

Good evening, Hogwarts. It is my great pleasure to announce that after nearly twenty years of being madly in love, both myself and the lovely Miss Matteris have gotten ourselves engaged to be married.

As of yet we haven't set a date for the wedding but we were simply too excited to hold off on announcing this to our dear friends. I'm certain you will all be invited.

We need to talk.

Can I just point out that you choice to announce this at a really inauspicious time?

Sometimes dire circumstances lead to favourable outcomes.

I'm just so thrilled. Couldn't possible hide it.

I didn't do anything.

Darling has something happened? Is this about Sybille being targeted by that Snow man?

[wwistful]

Something has, yes. Perhaps we should discuss it in person.

[bubblingover]

Do i get to be flower girl?

[wwistful]

I'm sure you'd make a charming flower girl, but I believe the arrangements will be left to my darling wife.

...no, I don't think we do. I think you've said everything I need to hear.

He wanted to deport her, Constance. She isn't a citizen.

[thegluethatbinds]

Congratulations to you both.

[Filtered to Murdoc]

I'm still waiting for an owl from my contacts in the Ministry. Hopefully they'll get back to me about potential citizenship for Sybille, but that could take awhile.

[wwistful]

Thank you, Professor. We're both utterly thrilled.

[Filter]
Necessary precautions were taken. I was told she had until tomorrow, so this should serve as a distraction at the very least.

[selfhatred]

[Yeah, he doesn't believe for one bit that this isn't related to Snow.]

CONGRATULATIONS, PROFESSORS.

[wwistful]

Thank you, Vantas.

[arachnoble]

I think we should have a winter wedding.

I think it would be quite fitting, darling.

[wwistful]

Winter would be marvellous. I've always wanted to get married in the snow-- but you already knew that.

[accioleggings]

[Normally he'd be over the moon about an engagement announcement but but he has a strong inkling this has a lot to do with Sybille's citizenship status and the High Inquisitor.]

CONGRATULATIONS, MURDOC. IF YOU TWO NEED ANY HELP WITH PLANNING I'D BE HAPPY TO GIVE SOME ADVICE.

[Filter to Murdoc]

ARE YOU AND SYBILLE REALLY GOING THROUGH WITH IT OR ARE YOU JUST HOLDING OUT UNTIL THE MINISTRY CALLS HIM BACK?

[wwistful]

That would be lovely, Vantas. Your nephew has offered as well. I'm sure the two of you will be very helpful

[Filter]
At this rate I feel like going through with it may be the only option we have.

Oh. no.

Tactful, Eridan.

The Inquisitor made a threat. He's going to deport Matteris because she isn't a citizen. This is the only way to protect her and Vriska.

[myblimpisbigger]

Congratulations, to the both of you.

[Filtered]

This seems a bit rushed, don't you think? Especially given the timing.

At any rate, if you need advice, I am willing to give it.

[wwistful]

Thank you, sir.

[Filtered]
The circumstances didn't leave me with much choice. If asked, I will simply say that the threat of deportation was the push I needed to commit to my precious wife.

Or something like that.

Thank you again.

Can I ask you a personal question?

[wwistful]

Do I have a choice?
Go ahead.

[There's suddenly a flood of black ink all over the page and for the longest time, it looks like there's not going to be any attempt at cleaning it up. That's because Bro is staring at the page, his mouth hanging open in sheer disbelief.

He can't be reading this right, can he? After everything they'd talked about... After fucking opening up to him. Talking about things that he'd never. ever. talked about to anyone.

And this?

He feels stupid. But that's nothing new, because maybe he's getting used to Murdoc making him feel stupid. He feels it every time he's around him, because of how goddamn vulnerable he makes him feel. And he feels stupid that that was ever a thing. That he ever... that he thought they would ever be able to be something.]

Will this m8ke you my uncle now?

[wwistful]

I imagine so, yes. Thank you, Vriska.

[itsintheblood]

Congratulations.

[wwistful]

Many thanks, Professor Mercer.

[patrioticspells]

Congratulations, professors. I hope you two will be happy together.

[wwistful]

Thank you, Rogers. I imagine we will be.
